My Opinion about the Advertising Agency:
Adcorp is a large agency which seems to have good ties with its customers it does not boast as many big companies as the other advertising agencies yet it puts out impressive work. Which is should be commended for. Adcorp works with one of Australia’s biggest companies the commonwealth bank which is a very impressive customer to have on the books. The adcorp website is well designed yet it is not that creative and information is at times hard to find as the navigation is poor and the visitor has to find the information via the site map.
